PLAN AHEAD SPRING BALLET

Intersession 74 Nowus the time to start plan­

ning for three weeks in Europe during the 1974 Intersession period. The last ^European Art Tour (Intersession 1973) included Madrid, Athens, Florence and Rome. WhUe in Madrid, there was a sidetrip to Toledo; while in Rome, a sidetrip was arranged to Pompeii; and while in Athens, there were sidetrips to Delphi and the monastery churches of Hosios Loukas in Phocis. Students and others participating visited the Acropolis in Athens, the Prado in Madrid^ St. Peter's and the Colosseum in Rome, and all of the major galleries in!1:Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance. They went to night clubs in Athens and sipped ouzo, the traditional Greek aperitif. They went to the ballet in Rome.\And these3were only some of the highlights of the trip. I ;|g

First-class hotel ac­commodations |were provided everywhere, as well as breakfast and dinnerFeveryday, all trans­portation, and privately con­ducted motorcoach tours of each city. To help coordinate the tour, there were local tour guides in each city and a tour guide who stayed with the group throughout the tour. The total cost was $797 (round trip from N.Y.C.).

The tour for the 1974; Inter­session period will include London, Paris and Amsterdam. The same facilities — trans­portation, hotels, meals, motor-coach tours and tour guides — provided in 1973 will be provided again in 1974. M V '{

While in London, those par­ticipating will visit the National Gallery and the British Museum. They will alsof have an op­portunity to take advantage of the excellent theater productions in London;and, if possible, a side-trip to Stonehenge will be scheduled. § i j§- In Paris are located some of the most famous and important museums in the world, among them the Louvre. We will also visit such famous landmarks as Notre Dame cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, the Sacre Coeur and Arc de Triomphe. Then, too, there are the cafes and nightlife for which the city is also famous. Sidetrips will be arranged to Versailles, one of the most colossal architectural en­terprises in the world, and, "if possible, to Chartres and or Loan cathedral. f i p Amsterdam, like Paris, is a truly beautiful and charming city. Here, in the Rijks Museum, those participating will have an opportunity to examine the work of two of the most famous artists in the history of Western art: Rembrandt van Rijn and Vincent van Gogh. Rembrandt's home, one of the nany fascinating sites in Amsterdam, will also be visited!! J £

The cost oft the tour will be approximately the same as that of the 1973 tour; and like the 1973 tour, it will be open to all and may be taken for credit. For further information contact: Joseph Sisca, Art Department, 223 Zurn, Ext. 257.|Remember, plan now; only 28 spaces will be open. I

OPEN LETTER Dear St £1*1

This Monday, April 29, we Will be deciding If we are content with the way R.U.S. has been operating in this past year. These election are not a popularity con­test. This election will determine if we are to continue in the tame apathetic muner as we have been for the fast three years. When voting, we must consider the options open to us. Consider the following. Did von enjoy the Spring Concert this year? How about the wring Concerts held in the last two years? Remember the strong positions R.U.S. took this year? Do you remember any positions R.U.S. took this year? Do you even remember any positions R.U.S. took this year? Do you remember what R.UiJ. is?

p. How many times did you walk Into Zurn and tee the R.U.S. office door open? How many times did your ward representative make reports in any classes thfs veer? Who were your ward representatives?;

For the last three years, R.U.S. has been a classic example of a student body that has given up any and all hope of becoming an organization of student action. The representatives have been there, willing to represent us, but the R.U.S. officers have been consistently letting down the representatives and'the whole student body. They have done this by allowing R.U.S. to bicker over counUesa numbers of trite subjects, while the major ones passed on unnoticed. It's about time R.U.S. has an administration with enough vision to be able to see what it it supposed to be, and then become it. _|

This Monday, don't vote for the people who teem to be the nice guys. They

that <* * probably are nice guys, iake

but that doesn t mean they'll \ make effective student leaders. Please vote for the people who will make things happen around here. Vote for the people who will meet your needs, financially, socially, and politically.

Sincerely, . Daniel A. Cannon Candidate for R.U. S. Presidency

Editorial | by Cathy Stevenson, Editor i

It's a shame that Mercy hurst students seem to take a certain pride in the fact that we are basically an apathetic student body. It has become a standing on'Joke on campus that I involvement is almost dead at Mercyhurst yet everyone complains about those few who care enough to try for resolutions. Monday is election day for next year's R.U.S. Presidential Officers and if previous election statistics concerning students who actually take a minute to vote ring true, Mercyhurst is in for more apathy in the future. Last year's voting numbers represented only a paltry 58 per cent of the student body. Not bad you may say but considering the size of the student body it once again proves that Mercyhurst would much rather talk than act. R.U.S. represents every student and governs the major doctrines which concern all students, yet only 58 per cent of Mercyhurst had any say about this year's outgoing officers. The candidates have presented their platforms in this week's paper and will hold a public forum to further inform students of their views. Ignorance is not now nor has ever been an excuse and there is still plenty of time to acquaint yourself with this year's candidates. The officers who are elected on Monday will be elected by the students and it is the students' responsibility to insure that that candidate is worthy of the position. It only takes a minute to voice your voting rights but if more people would take that minute perhaps Mercy­hurst would Anally climb out of the apathy rut. m 1

Don't get "riled", take a "bus". And when you get to the springtime in the sky say (Why? Because we like you. M.E.R.C.Y.H.U.R.ST. Mercyhurst, Springtime!) ? that Mohher nature sent you.

ROBIN'SIBACK by Larry Piltz

Robin Williams has to be one of the most talented and genuine entertainers to ever appear on the Coffeehouse Circuit here, f *

One goes into ar coffeehouse performance prepared lo enjoy some good solid folksinging and a little light monologue. Weil, this is a gross understatement of what actually takes place when Robin Williams comes to the stage. I Williams stands^onHhe stage awaiting his introduction in a pair of proverbial blue jeans and the traditional work v shirt and his light brown hair pulled behind his ears. After the applause for his introduction, he mutters a hushed "thank you" and then stuns the audience with his perfectly controlled voice accompanied by his Martin guitar andfajhar-moniraf | $ *&

HIS VOICE can sound like Glen Campbell's on some songs, while sounding like Steve Stills' on others. His voice can belt out a hard-driving country song lone second, while the next second it can be as soft and tender as any love ballad requires. But everything ^Williams ssings is in his original, impressive and natural style. K? *

Probably the most outstanding aspect of Robin Williams1 per­formance and entertaining in general is his personality. He is extremely effervescent and his exuberance bubbles out into his captured audience in the form of his moving music and down-home charm and humor. 3 i | WILLIAMS HAS retained his personalness, learned as a boy in South Carolina, and uses it ef­fectively to| establish a very warm rapport with his audience. From the very moment he opened his mouth on stage, each and every member of the audience knew he could strike up a con­versation with him at any time during the performance.

His humor, evidenced in many hilarious stories* and his "audience precipitation" song, played a major role in winning over the audience. Near the end of his second show, he lapsed into a nostalgic view of the "rock 'n roll era of the late 1950s and early 1960s. This segment, con­sisting of such numbers as "Who Put the Bop in the Bop she Bop"

and "Teen Angel"Revoked true, rib-shaking I laughter from the audience. >

MANY TIMES in the midst of some J of his humorous stories, Williams would be carried away to .some distant tangent, leaving the audience 5momentarily ponderous as to the location of the singer's mind. Just asj the an­ticipation of the story's end is about to become too great, he cleverly returns to the tale and evokes more Slaughter from the appreciative crowd. W

Thegmusic of Robin?Williams leans overwhelmingly toward the popularity-gaining country format. His stylctis folk music incorporated into country music and includes some popular numbers, such as a slowed, soft interpretation of "Mr. Bo jangles" and aI rollicking version of "Rocky Raccoon." One of the few other well-known songs he does is an excellent^ copy off James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James*' fashioned to fit his style. g

Robin Williams can satisfy the musical taste of anyone who enjoys music, as anyone who enjoys music will appreciate the immense talent possessed by this young man. j

THE TRANSITION from song to story and back to song is done with ease and a feeling of com­fortableness on the part of singer and audience. & ~3j

His first show is one marked by fast, fun songs with driving rhyth­ms and occasional love ballads, such as the one he wrote about his hand-holding affair with Becky at a make-out party in the seventh grade. The second show is more serious and carries more of a message, until the "oldies'* segment is performed. ?

Fromi moments characterized by lyrics such as "don't confront me with my failures; I've not forgotten," to moments typified by his accounts of touching little fingers with Becky, the Robin Williams 5 show is personal, =| spontaneous, fun and lfilled withf the fine guitar and fantastic voice of an entertainer with a future. Welcome back Robin!! Robin*-Williams 5returns to the 'Hurst. Shows are April 29,30 and May 1 at 9 and 10. A possible outdoor show may be planned for May 1.

Presidents Memo Found

byT.M.Cat Special Reporter

This reporter recently tailed President Marane's secretary on her way to the paper shredder. One plain white sheet escaped the stack of papers carried by the woman. The document was retrieved by me and appears, with no additions or omissions, below.

Memo from the Office of the President To: myself | Re: suggested graduation agenda, to be presented in next meeting with RUS president Rationale for Program: In order to impress the families of the graduates with the wholesomeness of Mercyhurst College, an 'organic graduation" would be appropriate. £

Commencement Exercises: The atmosphere of wholesomeness would be set even before the exercises begin. The program would include a scale drawing of the campus eco-system. Ink for the program would be pine-scented.

As the graduates file into their seats, we would have a musical background of the old Roy \ Rogers-Dale Evans song, "Let the Sunshine In." Perhaps we could get the Johnny Mann Singers to do it. Not only is the song morally uplifting, but it was written during the childhood years of the class of &4 and has probably given these students guidance in moral dilemmas over the years.

The main speaker would be Euell Gibbons, who would reveal his secret recipe for granola. The man would undoubtedly be willing to come here once he learns of our eco-systems, the one in nature and the one which involves the recycling g of former students into teachers, administrative assistants, etc. And, having Euell here might even give us national coverage in the media.

Next, Julie Gemm would offer some advice under the guise of Mother Nature. (Find out if Mother Nature is an acceptable woman figure to' feminists. We can't risk a walk-out.) With a group of children surrounding her, Julie would read! the passage from Voltaire on cultivating one's own garden.!

The diplomas would be distributed next. Tying in with Julie's reading, each diploma would really be a miniature orange plant, a living tribute to the graduate of a wholesome college.

To wind up the exercises, the faculty and staff would sing to the graduates another Rogers-Evans song, "Happy Trails to You."

It goes without saying that such a program could not possibly offend anyone. Such a program is guaranteed to make a happy and memorable graduation day for all concerned.^ |

Overseas Study The official opening of the 1975-

76 competition ffor grants for graduate study*; or research abroad and for professional training in the creative land performing arts was announced today by the! Institute oft Inter­national Education. It is expected that approximately 570 awards to 50 countries will be available for 1975-76. • P i

The purpose of these grants is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and | other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills. They are provided under the terms of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (Fulbright-Hays Act) and |by foreign governments, universities and private donors. | *•£

Applicants must be U. S. citizens at the time of application, who will generally hold a Bachelor's degree or jits equivalent before the beginning date of thefgrant and, in most cases, will be proficient in the language of the hostg country. Except for certain specific awards, candidates may not hold the Ph.D at the time of ap­

plication. Creative and performing ar­

tists are not required to have a Bachelor's degree, but they must have* four years of professional study or equivalent experience. Social work applicants must have at least two years of professional experience after the Master of Social Worto degree; candidates in medicine must have an M.D. at the time of application.^ I

Selection is based on the academic and or professional record of the applicant, > the validity and feasibility! off his proposed study plan, his language preparation and personal qualifications. Preference is given to| candidates between 20 and 35 years of age who have not had prior opportunity for ex­tended study or residence abroad.

|Information and application forms may be obtained |ffom David DeSante, Ful bright Program Adviser at Mercy­hurst. He is located in Placement Office, Room 207 Main and has office hours on Monday-Friday from 8:30 to 4:30. The deadline date for receipt of applications in his office is November 1,1974. «

Larie PfMea & R. L Frankenburg receive honors at 2nd annual convocation.

AMONG FRI ENDS What better way to celebrate

Spring Weekend'74 than at dinner, dancing and enjoying the com­pany of others. The Hotel Con­cord, in North East, Pa., will be the site for the affair again this year. The festivities will § begin with cocktails, from 7:00 to 8:00 P.M., followed by a buffet dinner and aftwards, anjopen bar and dancing. Music for the evening will be provided by a group from Pittsburgh, known as "Father Maple". The cost will be $22.00 per couple. \ |

For the Freshman, and those of you who have never attended a function such as this at Mercy­hurst, you owe it to yourself to attend. Plans ; for the Weekend began in January so that the best possible arrangements could be made. You may question the

expense of $22.00 for tickets, but this is necessary to provide the type of evening you would care to enjoy. T

Dinner will be served buffet-style to allow you the opportunity to select from an assortment of dishes, rather than being limited by one entree. The bar will be open to you, before and after the meal, offering a variety of drinks. "Father Maple" was chosen, as the music selection, after \ a lengthy search for quality en­tertainment. All in all, this year's weekend should prove to be the best ever, i * 5

What seems to have happened in the past few years, since we have gone coed, is that the women haven't offered to split the ex­pense of the ticket ana will wait to

be asked by one of the men on campus. Why not share the cost and ask someone, whose com­pany you enjoy, to go with you. Eleven dollars shouldn't break anyone and it's J much less ex­pensive and much more wor­thwhile than going out*to dinner and spending the remainder of the evening in the lounge. Besides, it beats spending May Uth glued to theT.V.set. * 9 m Tickets will be on sale begin­ning Monday, April 29th, in the Student Union, from 12:00 until 2:00 P.M. We ask that you get a ticket early so that arrangements can be made for the dinner. Make your plans soon.

The theme, this year, is ap­propriately titled "Among Friends"...what better way to spend an evening. I

tt Cuckoos Nest 99 Opens "One flew east, one flew west,

one flew over the cuckoo's nest" best \ sums up the upcoming production & at the Mercyhurst Little Theater entitled "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's \ Nest." The show itself, rather serious, rather comic is certainly involving and has been one of the most popular shows off-Broadway. Starring in the production is Bill Frazier, as McMurphy, who has;proved his talent in such shows as('The Lion in Winter" as the pKing. j(Jo Roberts as Nurse Ratchel, has been in such shows as "Follies" at the Erie Playhouse?

EUROPE (Europe) The Student

Overseas Services (SOS) which has been helping college students in Europe for the past 16 years announces that f the number of summer jobs now available in Europe is higher than original estimates. The placement office of the service states that in an effort to bring interested students together with available jobs a speeded up mail application system is being used. Jobs are given out/ as always, on a non profit/ first come, first served basis to students only between 18 and 27 years of age.

Students who have never previously worked or studied in Europe must undergo a brief orientation period at their^ own expense, after they arrive in Europe. Among other benefits to students, the orientation is designed to make certain every student gets off to their job on the r ight foot. Jobs, 'most ly in resorts, restaurants and hotels, are not always plush and the work can be hard. But the fact is that a job is there, in Europe, and with free room and board and a standard wage any student willing to work can see: and benefit from a trip to Europe at a minimal or even break-even cost.

'. As time is drawing short -for this summer^interested students should obtain and submit their applications soon. The forms, job listings and descriptions/ and the SOS Handbook will be sent to anyone sending their name/ address, name of school and SI (for printing#| postage, ad­dressing and handling only) to either SOS/ Box 5173* Santa Barbara, Calif*93108; Or directly to SOS Placement Office/ 22 Ave. de la Liberie, Luxembourg -Europe. Students can speed up processing by getting and holding untilirequested/-3 passport size photos and a letter of recom­mendation from a teacher or former employer. *

From 1 to r: Ed McGraw in the role of Dr. Spivey, Tom Heuer as chief, and Tom DeStefano as Warren. \l

may remember Barb Wells from "Gamma Rays" as she plays Sandra, Candy's partner in "loose" activities. Although some of the cast |members are novices of the stage, the show is pulling together in dynamite form. |

Don't miss this fantastic show.

"Cuckoo's Nest" opens May 9 and runs through the 10th, llth and 12th at 8:30 with a 2:30 matinee on the 12th. The box office opens May 1 so be sure to call 864-0681 ext. 271 for your* reservations. Also, don't forget to support Creative Arts Month in May. After all, art is for man's sake.

Strokes -Volleys by Dario Cipriani, Spoils Editor!

CREW Even though it's a week late, welcome back everyone. Spring

finally sprung in Erie during the Easter recess and consequently the 'Hurst sunshine sports program was off and running.

While everyone was looking for their Easter baskets last week, the Laker Crew Team was busy chalking up a very impressive triple victory over Notre Dame. Then this past weekend, they suffered a slight letdown by not faring well in the Buffalo City Championships. ?

The Irish came rolling into the boathouse an hour and a half late on Easter morning. They paid for this mistake. Instead of God making them number one this day, He had to save them from drowning in the icy waters of Erie Bay. All three Laker shells cruised to easy victories and the Irish felt a little embarrassed when leaving Erie after being smashed by Mercy-who? (See results on this page).

The novice boat with Bill Feehley at bow, Dave Pike, Bruce Belovarac, John Teti, Dan Eagan, Jim Gordnt, Dave Maynard, Ed Inscho and Ed Loughney as cox won the 1500 meter opening race. Then the J.V. Crew of Greg Van Braner, bow, Mark Ruttenburg, John Daley, Fred Asamus, Russ Meyer, John Beck, Tony Murphy. John Wo jdyla and Gerry Sica at c o n e scored an easy forty second rout. This paved the way for the varsity boat who wasted no time in disposing of N.D.'s number one shell. With Joe Dolan at bow, Jack Freidel, Mike Murphy, Dave Collins, Gene Egan, Al Copeland, Lamont Prince, Bob Dartnell and Frank Sands as cox, they com­pleted the sweep. ., A ^

Things were a bit different in Buffalo. The best the 'Hurt could muster was a second place ^finish by the l J.V.'s. Coach Dave Shimpeno feels both he and his team learned a lot in defeat and this will prepare them better for the first annual Mercyhurst-Bay Invitational Regatta. Buffalo State, the University of Buffalo and possibly Morris Harvey will pose as the opposition Saturday. I \

The festivities will begin at 1 p.m. with the official christening of the three Laker shells lodged at the boathouse. "Larie Pintea," "Sister Carolyn" and "William P. Garvey" will be the names given to the boats. This i s being done to commemorate the efforts each of them have given to help the Mercyhurst Crew program. Medallions will be awarded to the winning crews in each of the three races and Mayor Louis Tullio has-donated a cup so consequently, the "Mayor's Cup" will be presented to the winning school in the var­sity race. It promises to be an interesting afternoon.

TENNIS i The tennis team completed their southern tour by bowing to Duke

University 7-2. They finally appeared in the neighborhood on April 20th and trounced Behrend 9-0 to up their spring slate to five wins and two defeats. The netters recorded three shutout victories down south. They blanked East Stroudsburg State (9-0) Randolph-Macon (8-0) and the University of Richmond (9-0). Their other victory came at the expense of Hamden-Sidney (6-1) and they suffered a second defeat to the University of Virginia (6-3). | M

Jack Daley owns the best individual record. The Framingham, Massachusetts sophomore is l undefeated in five j starts. The doubles team of Rick Kobleur and Tommy Thompson a have an unbeaten record. The Southern Pines boys have won four matches, and as yet have failed to lose a single set. X | f W

The Lakers return to action tomorrow with an exhibition against the Youngstown Racquet Club. They begin their western swing on Monday. p I

BASEBALL Of ft To Quick Start

The hidden entity that often emerges to be the difference between success and failure is most evident in the world of Sport.| If you don't think Coach Joe Cook is a believer of this after his team's sky rocket start in D18 baseball play, then may the Spiritual Guardians sit on your face. %

If you had told Coach Cook three weeks ago that at this point in time his team would be five and one, he'd say, "That's what we are shooting for." But if you also mused that his team would have in that same time collected 43 hits, he'd tell you ' 'Dreaming like that will only give you a big laundry bill."

^Before the Lakers' opening double-header against Behrend College the team had only had one day of hitting practice. Ironically, thus far the hitting has pulled the Lakers out offevery game-but two. £ |

The pitching, with the excep­tion of three fine outings by Ray Korzenowski and a stellar NO-HIT performance by Danny Hill, has just not been up to par. What had been; expected to be our

by Garrett Kenilworth strong point, has been at least only average. A bit of shakiness and inconsistency may be the disease here. Carl California' and Bobby tWiesmiller, usually the most consistent on the staff, own the two highest E.R.A.'s. *

Meanwhile the other guys on what can only be termed as a '.loose tight team, are doing their share of picking up the slack by knocking the cover off of the ball. Cook is openly amazed at these hitting feats, and he well should be considering Er ie ' s weather j and the hitting time it allows. J | J |

Howie Nemenz and Charlie Jones are leading the assault on the little white sphere, with .482 and .389 averages. Ini addition, Nemenz has a homerun and a triple, while Jones has ripped two doubles and a triple as a show of their power. Dave Wieczorek isn't far behind with a .375 average. Not only is the team hitting a healthy .274 but the hits are timely, and guys like Hen-ning, Will iamson, Cook, and Herrmann are providing those on-time blasts. $f I

Up Your j Alley

The bowling intra-mural results have just come in, after a rather successful season at the alleys.; Meeting early every Wednesday morning, during the winter term, the Mercyhurst Bowling team (and co-ed, I might add) would get together for a few hours of pure fun. And, although they did not have enough members to form a league, ihey did manage to participate in some exciting tournaments, held during the last two weeks of the season. * ' >*|

The first tournament was the Hi-Lo Mixed Doubles, where Chris Onusko and'Roy Reeves took 1st place championships and Linda Storer, along with Frank Tricilio, placed as runner-ups. Ana in the second tournament— the Mixed-Scotch Doubles—Sal Timpani and Pat Smith placed first, while Mickey O'Neill and Pat Tech followed close behind.?

Receiving trophies, at; the end of the season, were: 1st place winner Pat Tech, with a total of 15 pts.; 2nd place ^winner, Frank Trigilio, with 9?pts.; and Ms. Janet Price; with a total of 8 pts.

Thanks to Eastway Bowling Lanes, on Buffalo Road, the team was able to spend some very enjoyable mornings together. If you like to bowl, or would be interested in learning, perhaps you should consider looking into it for next year...it could be right up your alley.

For further information, contact Ms. Janet Price; she will be more than happy to fill you in on all the facts. I

back seat either. The work Bob PettineUi did with the Infielders this spring has tightened it up like a vacuum. I ,r •' U, Coach Cook is happy, but also weary because he has thirteen games in sixteen days during the month " of May .against such powerhouses as Point Park, Frostburg and Slippery Rock. With the losses of Duquesne and Alliance from the schedule, sixteen wins looks even tougher now. The pitching will have to [row more consistent; and California may be the key. He's

got to come around for the stretch in May to take the pressure off of the other three starters. %

S The Lakers showed what they were made of last Saturday when they came from behind 6-0 to beat Behrend 9-6 in the second half of the double-header sweep. Maybe Hill can conjure up another no-hitter or two and if we stay solid everywhere else, and if we split against the three big teams left and sweep the rest, then maybe the Mercyhurst Lakers may sneak into the fourth playoff spot for the District 18. That's a lot of "ifs", but who knows the hidden entity may yet to have emerged.

i GOLF If The Mercyhurst Golf Team is rearing the half-way point in their spring season. •; ,

They are presently posting a 4-1 slate, with wins over Allegheny, Behrend, Alliance and a big win over Youngstown State last Monday. Their only set-back came from Edinboro in a cliff-hanger, during the first match of the season. • ' .1 •

The win over Youngstown was big news to the 'Hurst in more than one way: it's the first time thel team played up to its capacity .£ Rick Seus shot the lowest round ever, by a Laker linkster; that being a 2 under par 68. I Bruce Chase, and Tom Hixenbaugh continued their consistency with 75's. Freshman Dale Mcintosh came through for the team with a surprise of 76 pts. And the captain of the team— none other than Dario Cipriani-rounded off the team's best five scores, with a 78. i

Coach "Skip" Meyn wanted this victory just as much as everyone on the team. During his four years at Alliance, he played first man...just i a little background, there. i j

Mercyhurst is a strong con­tender for i thei&District 18 Championships, as we will surely^ prove after our big games withg Slippery Rock and Clarion State.

EARTH DAY I On Wednesday, May 1, all members of the Mercyhurst com­

munity are urged to participate in an Earth Day cleanup and celebration. £ £ | { \ ^ § _&• *

The campus cleanup will berin at 9 o'clock and will end at 12 with a picnic lunch scheduled in the park. Plans for live en­tertainment are at this time tentative. | 5

A collection of recyclable materials will also take place in collection with Earth Day. All recyclable cans, bottles, paper magazines can be deposited in the parking lot in the hack of Zurn. Cans are to be flattened, magazines are to be tied in bundles or placed in bags, and clear and colored glass should be separated. &

TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR CAMPUS-PARTICIPATE ON EARTH DAY, MAY 1. W g T ?§
